Product Details
This cushion uses the same diamond cable pattern as the Farrimond Cardigan from my Simple Knits book. I created this cushion for those that want to practise the technique before they tried the garment.
I designed it with the rich history and symbolism of cable knitting in mind. In traditional fisherman folklore, different stitches hold different meanings. The diamond cable is said to represent the shape of a fishing mesh — a wish for a successful catch — while the classic rope cable symbolises safety and good fortune at sea.
I love this deeper meaning behind stitches. For me, it captures exactly what knitting is all about: something made with love, full of meaning and offering the knitter a soothing, calming journey as they create a beautiful, thoughtful gift.
